I was at the Admiral's hockey game Saturday night with my analog friend. After a couple beers, I knew she'd be wanting to go out, so I grabbed my handy dandy JS & said "hey....wanna take a hit?" We of course giggled at the way I said that.... She did and the vapes she took during the game were enough to keep her inside without discomfort & satisfied her cravings.
Which of course lead to further discussion at the pub afterwards! YEAH! Finally! =)
She tried my 901, 510 & JS this summer, but the beer had been flowing and she kept inhaling too hard, so she kept getting a mouthful of juice. No; I didn't think about taking the cart apart & dripping into the JS so that wouldn't happen until the next day......like I said, beer involved.....
She was a Chantix baby last year & kept off analogs for a good 4 months. And she still found herself struggling. Then summer and vacation happened.....and beer....and she began the 'only on vacation...' cycle...and we all know where that ended up.....so, she's been struggling with wanting to quit for almost a year now.
After my passing the 8 month mark last week, the fact that I never preached, but, let her know she was free to try it anytime & discovering how well it worked at the game, she's really ready to make the switch to vaping.
She's a no nonsense kind of girl and her biggest concern is making it last all day. She works down at O'Hare, so with a 1.5 hr drive one way, a 10 hr shift, the drive back, she stated flat out she's looking at something that would last her a good 14 hrs.
She does NOT care if it looks like a cigarette, like so many newbies worry about (guilty!), she just wants something that will work.
She smokes Marl' Ultra Lights, but I've noticed she's a strong inhale.
My first thought was the stick -- small, compact enough to fit in her blazer or clip to the back of her pants/skirt, and having a cord would allow her to do little charge-ups when she's at her desk, or, of course, she can carry a couple extra batteries. Plus, she can drip, which should help with the inhale situation. If she discovers that the throat hit isn't strong enough with the 801, she can always get a 510 adaptor, which is what I've been using in mine.
Con: I'm on my third. Granted, since getting the new one, I've only used the 510 adaptor so there's been no way juice could possibly leak into the unit....
But, I'm also wondering if something like a Chuck would be better for the money. I have yet to see a Chuck in real life, so I'm not sure. I've seen the Prodigy (thx Vicks!!), but I'm thinking the throat hit on the 801/JS would be good for her, since she's never known the beauty of the 510 LOL
Any suggestions? Being this is a friend I see/talk to a lot, it's harder than tossing out a model to someone one the boards!! LOL
================
On a side note, we eventually ended up in a bar closer to home and I pulled out my 510. A guy also at the bar said "Cool! Another one of those e-cigarettes!" I got all excited! Someone outside my little circle who knew what it was! I asked if he used it, and he said no, he's a dealer at a casino and one of his high rollers uses one.....I think he said they don't allow smoking in some of the rooms, but this guy uses it all the time & the casino is all for it (sorry; I don't know much about casinos, so I think that's what he said). He went onto say that the guy sells them. In Milwaukee? Yup; but he didn't know anything more than that.
It wasn't until later I started thinking....hmmm...could he have been talking about YKnot? or maybe from the kiosk at the mall? I didn't even think about asking the kid for a description of the guy.
Has anyone heard of sellers in the Milwaukee area? Have I been gone that long?? lol
